Strength Outside The Keraton Wall
The Power Avoided II
"Tell me, where and when to usually give an offering" Lintang said.
"On the edge of the ocean. On a flat and white sandy beach, which is surrounded by high cliffs with. Almost every late night" replied the soldier.
"All right, this time I'll set you free. Be a soldier who can protect the people. Do not disobey the people," said Lintang again, "you can go. Bring your leader's body. Hurry."
Not waiting to be ordered again, they immediately left with the body of Ki Demang.
After the soldiers left, Lintang approached the mbok again.
"Mbok, take your child home," said Lintang while giving one kampil (pocket of money) to the mbok.
Looking at the contents of the skill that was around a hundred gold coins, the mbok, while prostrating repeatedly, thanked him incessantly.
The mbok only stopped after her daughter hugged her arm and said "take'e, already."
"Per...go ? when is nduk ?" said the mbok wonder.
"I don't know mbok either. Know you know it's not in front of the symbol" replied the girl.
The latitude is indeed fast-moving, going towards the coast. Curiosity The latitude is getting bigger.
The latitude to the top of the limestone hill that is likely to be passed by people. But still have a broad view, can see and monitor the surrounding conditions.
As soon as the day changed night, in the distance Lintang saw the train troupe accompanied by horsemen. The group moved down a winding road to the beach. It was as if someone was chasing him.
From the other way, more to the east, seen also a group of cars escorted by horsemen, also heading to the same beach.
The train was seen meeting and gathering at one point on the beach.
"How much do you bring, young Senopati Wirayuda ?" ask someone who seems like a relative of the palace.
"There are four, raden tumenggung," replied the man who turned out to be a young senopath named Wirayuda.
"Sorry that Kalidoro was born, Ki demang Sujiwo was forced to kill me" said Senopati Wirayuda.
"I've heard from the survivors. Who is that young man you mean, senopati ?" tanya Tumenggung Kalidoro's.
"Who is he, I can't be sure yet, raden. I felt, the young man seemed to have a very great power. It is easy, the young man is not opposite to us," continued Senopati Wiryuda.
"For the affairs of the young man, authority is in your hands, senopati. Do what you think is necessary" said Raden Tumenggung Kalidoro.
"I will do as I can, raden," replied the young senopati Wirayuda.
The soldiers immediately stood guard around the train and lit some torches, just for lighting. They were like they didn't care, the beach breeze was blowing, making their clothes, scarves and hair flutter.
All the cars were silent. Like there's something they're waiting for.
The latitude was also waiting, what would the train group do. While sitting meditated, far above the limestone hills.
Without feeling a few hours passed. The night is entering its peak. Twelve o'clock at night.
Suddenly, the sound and gusts of wind stopped. The sound and movement of the waves stopped. Even time seems to stop. The atmosphere became quiet for some time.
Then lamat lamat heard a tinkling sound. Like from far away.
Along with that, there was visible light. Golden yellow.
The clattering sound the longer it sounded the clearer.
So did the golden yellow glow. After some time and getting closer, it appeared.
Four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage, gold plated. He was pulled by six white horses. A woman dressed as a warrior. Passenger train, a princess dressed up. Looks graceful and beautiful.
The golden horse carriage moved in the sky, heading towards the group of two carriages that were on the beach.
Then came the voice of the woman dressed as the princess of the palace from inside the carriage that was hovering.
"How many offerings did you bring ? Why didn't your own lord deliver it ?" ask the woman dressed like the palace princess.
"For queens. Today there are eight, the queen. Also pardon Kanjeng Ratu, kanjeng prince is still busy. Arrange the duties of senopati and tumenggung and other officials. Kanjeng prince sent us both, Tumenggung Kalidoro and senopati Wirayuda, to serve the queen kanjeng," replied Raden Tumenggung Kalidoro.
"Here you meet me, ask for help in order to become the king of Java. I accept his request, I only ask to be given a young woman, whom I will make my servants and soldiers in my kingdom," Kanjeng Ratu said.
"Go away. Leave them all here" continued Kanjeng Ratu.
"Well Queen Kanjeng, we say goodbye" replied Raden Tumenggung Kalidoro.
Soon two chariots and their soldiers left the beach. The previous one took down each of the four young women from inside the carriage.
After the Kalidoro Raden train troupe went far away, the glowing golden yellow train came down, but remained in a floating state.
"Soldiers, take them all," ordered the Queen Kanjeng.
"Execute the Queen's Kanjeng" replied a soldier.
Eight mounted warriors, descended upon the helpless young women. Intending to take, one soldier brought one offering girl.
But, before they raised the girl, there arrived an enormous force accompanied by a loud noise, like restraining them.
Latitude Rahina, who had previously stood on a calcareous hill, watched everything, immediately darted down to approach the queen's kanjeng troupe, to save the sacrificial victims.
"Stop !!! don't touch them !!" shouted Latitude by expelling his inner energy.
As soon as he heard the Latitude cry, the eight female warriors who were descending were about to take the offering girl, feeling a pressure that made them unable to move.
In shouting, Lintang did exert a deep force into his voice and also cast a spell, preparing to fight the demon. So that for ordinary stealth groups, it will be directly exposed to the effect.
Seeing who was approaching and what happened to his soldiers, Kanjeng Ratu also shouted as he flicked his hands towards his soldiers.
"Hi man. You were the young man last night, right ? What are you doing here ? Don't interfere with my business" cried Kanjeng Katu.
"I know, you dragon demon, queen of the demons in this ocean. I won't interfere with your business. However, if you prey on humans for the sake of offering, I cannot accept it. I will exterminate you" replied Lintang.
"You are a man from Mount Merbabu. Don't interfere with my business. Ki Simo alone did not dare to bother me," said Dragon Demon queen Wilis Kencana.
"Lintang swung his ring-wearing right hand while saying, "Ki Sardulo, come out !!!"
In an instant, Ki Sardulo or Ki Simo, came out of the Latitude ring in the form of a yellow stripe tiger as high as three meters more.
Seeing and feeling another demon air, the dragon demon queen, Dragon Wilis Kencana cried out in shock.
"Ki Simo, why are you here ?"
"We meet again Nyi Wilis Kencana. I came here to accompany den Lintang, this young man," replied Ki Sardulo.
"Awhile....Ki Simo accompanied this youngster ? Don't tell Ki Simo it's been." Nyi Naga Wilis Kencana said slowly.
"Rubber nyi. I conquered this young man" replied Ki Sardulo.
Hearing Ki Sardulo's reply, the dragon demon queen, Dragon Wilis Kencana said inwardly, "man is indeed an unfathomable ability, with the ability of his mind. I felt, The latitude of this human child, has a very great energy. Ki Simo can be conquered. What a terrible power. I won't be able to win against him. I have to check, so that this human child, is not opposite to me."
